When you feel time has been passive
And the world has withdrawn
You feel pushed towards obscurity
Exhausting the mind and heart
In search of an escape route
There will be a time
When you feel the walls closing in
A crack in the wall is your escape
From the falsehood and silent misery
Solitude reveals another world
Parallel to the life you were living
A path will appear in front of you
To lead you towards hope
You are an eternity and nothing stops
Keep moving, let the mind be a traveler
Break out of the mould
Create a new world and identity
Seek from the soul and wish from the heart
There is a world out there
For you to be free and revel in its wonders©

Many people are afraid of solitude, but I agree with you, it does open a new dimension. 🙂

Being alone and lonely are two different thing. One who loves solitude is aware because of self-realization and there is consciousness which leads them to knowledge. Without introspection, this life is not complete. 🙂

I felt like I was walking along the walls of a great canyon listening to an apparition whisper to me out of the light of almost letting go

I am reminded of another famous poem ” Where the mind is without fear”, when I read this Amit.
I like your thoughts and wish that everyone would be led onto a life of their dreams- if only they would choose the path, they want to go.
